Monday April 17th
* The AR crystals for the Blackwaters have arrived and those orders with those requested will begin going out this week.
* Black/red date wheels are also in stock now
* Still waiting to hear from the machine shop about the fixed bar option.
Updates and pre-order fulfillment:
* E-mails went out today with serial number and your “place in line” enclosed. The serial number and queue information is printed on the attached PDF copies of your sales order. I will begin posting the order numbers that I am currently working on.
* If you haven’t submitted an order for your pre-order then nothing has gone out yet.
* If you required your order to be entered in manually it may/or may not have gone out this evening but will go out later this week.
* As mentioned in the e-mails the last day to change/cancel your order is May 1st. I need to set a cut-off date so that I can focus on shipping orders and get away from administrative work as much as possible. This deadline does not apply to those of you that requested the fixed bar option since we are still waiting on an answer regarding that option.
Tuesday April 11th
Back in the shop since yesterday. I got back to the US last Thursday but my brain just arrived 
6 hour jet lag doesn’t sound that bad until you get back.
Some updates:
* MMT AR coated sapphire crystals will be arriving later this week.
* The red/black date wheels will go up on the site later this week as well.
Please note that due to an oversight on my part the lead time isn’t listed on the MMT Blackwater page, which is about 12 weeks if you didn’t pre-order. If this is more than you bargained for when you placed an order please e-mail me.
Returning to the US today April 6th.
I haven’t had much Internet access here in Basel. The ship I was staying on was not wi-fi equiped and the exhibition hall provided some limited Internet access but not for long periods of time. I hope that there are not too many customers out there that are still wondering where I have gone.
I will be flying back to the US this afternoon and should be back late this evening. I got to some of my e-mails while in Basel but haven’t had a chance to send any of them. I will be respondning to e-mails tonight if possible but at the least sending out what I have completed and beginning to wade through the e-mails on Friday. I will be in NYC this weekend where I can do some e-mails and other paperwork [I am flying into JFK.] I will be back in PA on Monday.
